Perl Steering Council lays out a backwards compatible future for Perl 7

Re: Backwards compatibility

Lots of things are incredible, like complaining about something other people did for free and refusing to contribute anything useful yourself.

Re: Backwards compatibility

It exists already. Time::Piece is in the core library and has a method to return the year as the OP admitted.

Re: Backwards compatibility

Complain to POSIX, this is how localtime works in C and every other language that implements the binding to that function. Nothing to do with Perl and won't be changing. That's why interfaces like Time::Piece exist.

Feel free to report the broken example (politely) to https://github.com/perlorg/perlweb. The fix is "use feature 'say';"
